Baked Fontina Cheese Dip

April 25th, 2012 Black Dynamite

Normally Barefoot Contessa isn’t my female of choice to watch on the food network ( here’s looking at you Giada! ), but I recently came across an episode where she was making this cheese dip. And while usually I wouldn’t suffer through watching her waddle on the beach and talking to her husband for 30 minutes, I’m glad I did because the result was this KickAss dip! Enjoy!

Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack 5 inches from the heat.

Distribute the cubes of Fontina evenly in a 12-inch cast-iron pan. Drizzle on the olive oil. Combine the garlic, thyme, and rosemary and sprinkle it over the cheese and olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and place the pan under the broiler for 6 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling and starts to brown.
